Obama repeatedly maintained that the individual mandate (Obamacare’s kingpin) was not a tax. However, since the mandate is unconstitutional as presented, Chief Justice John Roberts deemed it a tax. The Constitution empowers Congress to tax, so the mandate became constitutional. Amazing what a name-change can accomplish even though taxation is not meant to be a means of penalization.

Obama won this battle, but not the war. Our right to vote provides the necessary ammunition to turn the tide, so voting is vital.

Those who oppose Obama but have doubts about Romney and have decided to sit out this election must reconsider. Romney is firmly committed to repealing Obamacare.

Consider what Obamacare entails:

Contempt for, and denial of states’ rights;

Outrageous government spending, necessitating increased taxation;

Job-killing for small businesses when unemployment is already critical;
